This is the short DGM fic. It's a Bak and Fo fic, and I've been meaning to write it for...a very long time.

Thanks to zephy_magnum  for the beta!

DGM does not belong to me. It never does. Woe.

ETA: Now with a Russian translation by jayazz! ♥

Wow, what an interesting last line! I didn't expect it at all, and it had a really thought-provoking message, toward Fo, Bak, Zhu, and the situation in general. Neat job, there!

My favorite lines were thrice:
+Apparently ownership doesn’t count for much with humans.
+"I think I’d also like to live in your cloud cuckoo land, Bak. The weather seems nice."
+He probably meant it as a punishment.

Also, everything through Bak's physical movements really came out to me. I "saw" them extremely easily and sharply; they jumped right out at me and had such life to them. I really like that. Bak seems so real

Eek, sorry I took forever to respond! Holidays, sigh.

I'm happy you enjoyed it! Bak and Fo are an interesting pair, and (as is so often the case) I wish they got more time in canon. EVEN THOUGH THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Oh! So I read Piercing by Ryu Murakami, which I picked up because the bunny rabbit and icepick on the cover intrigued me. Heh. Oops.

...WHAT A WEIRD MAN. What the hell was that? Was there a message in that crazy, crazy book? I hope not. Each character was more insane than the one before, it was epic. Now I have to read In the Miso Soup and Coin Locker Babies out of sheer morbid fascination, even though I know I'll regret it. YAY!

High hopes for Dreamwidth! Mostly I like the extra icons and lack of ads. And crossposting. Huzzah. Do you want an invite? Because I have one. Randomly. :D

Thank you for the comment!

yes, i can feel what fou felt right here. not that i shared a same experience with her*i'm not and shall not compete her limitless age in any way orz*

but i guess this feeling just like when you have to seperate with old friends in your graduation.it's totally sad and depressing.D,:

Fortunately, Fou has Bak, the biased lenalee's fanboy, with her XD. i love their interaction here, it's just so right, precisely right on my mind like you've written it for me*nah,i've been hallucinating/bricked*

this is simple and sweet. again you wrote not-main-character with amazing detail and precise charaterization. you give me no choice except loving you XD

Bak and Fo's relationship charms me to pieces. Fo knows she should know better than to like Bak as much as she obviously does. It is awesome. :D

Thank you, and I'm glad this seemed right to you! ^_^

I have nothing useful to add, but I really like this piece. The voices are very spot on to how the characters sound in my head, which is of course all that matters in fic ever :D

Well done!

[metisket]

Haha, yeah. That's why I fail original fiction in a nutshell. Plot? WHO CARES ABOUT THAT? XD

Thank you! I'm happy you liked it!
